Look into a good set of long tube headers, a good catback exhaust, a cold air induction, a larger converter, gears, etc. for the time being. Those mods alone should be able to get you down into the deep 13s-high 12s, and then you'd be set up for a cam swap once the budget allows.

If you're starting from complete scratch forget doing a cam swap at this time - you don't have the budget for it unfortunately.

^^what he said. Most of my bolt ons are either hand me downs or used. I always double check the classifieds here and craigslist before I even think about buying brand new. I've saved at least $1500 doing it the cheap way. Not as flashy as having brand new stuff but I'm more of a performance over flash kind of guy.
